pull request: wireless-2.6 2009-08-21

Dave,

One more straggler for 2.6.31...without this rtl8187b devices simply don't work. :-(

The patch is small and isolated to rtl8187. I think we should take it for 2.6.31.

Please let me know if there are problems!

John

Note: This patch should fix Bugzilla #13960, which is a regression since 2.6.30. The OP has not yet reported back, but it fixed the same condition on my computer.

Pulled, and I'll push out to kernel.org after a test build.

Thanks!
